Jeb Bush blasted the Trump administration on Wednesday for indicating it's considering an offer from Russian President Vladimir Putin to observe questioning of indicted Russians in exchange for allowing Russian authorities to question American citizens.

"Not dismissing this absurd request out of hand is an extraordinary sign of weakness by an American president," Bush tweeted.

At a joint press conference in Finland, Putin said he’d be willing to allow U.S. law enforcement to travel to Russia and observe the questioning of suspects implicated in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe. In exchange, Putin said he’d want access to U.S. citizens for questioning.

Trump appeared receptive to the offer, saying at Monday's press conference that Putin had made an "incredible offer."

Jebbie should STFU. He couldn’t make it past one debate on the presidential stage. That’s weakness, even incredible weakness.

Yeb! Shut Up!

No one wants to hear anything you have to say.

You and the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) were soundly rejected.

Obamas: Trump is POTUS and you’re no longer in the White House

18 Jul: Daily Mail: Obamas gang up on Trump: Michelle puts the boot into ‘mediocre’ president as she laments society ‘demanding excellence from women’ but putting up with second-rate men in power - after Barack attacked ‘strongman politics’
•Michelle Obama spoke at a charity event in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Tuesday
•Up to 900 guests packed into the EICC venue to hear from the former First Lady
•Mrs Obama told the audience: ‘We can’t be okay with mediocrity with men’
By Dianne Apen-sadler
Michelle Obama slammed US President Donald Trump for being ‘mediocre’ during a speech at a charity event in Scotland - but ruled herself out of ever running for president.
The former First Lady arrived in Edinburgh on Tuesday evening for the charity event organised by The Hunter Foundation and described as her first official international appearance since leaving the White House...

Obama spoke to a crowd of more than 10,000 people at a cricket stadium in Johannesburg in the centerpiece event of celebrations marking 100 years since Nelson Mandela’s birth...
He said that if there was not agreement on facts, it was impossible to have dialogue - saying that climate change was an example of that.
‘I can’t find common ground when someone says climate change is not happening.’
Trump has pulled the United States out of the Paris Accord on combating it and questioned whether it is genuine...

16 Jul: KahawaTungu: Michelle Obama, Daughters Skip Kenya Visit For Paris After 8 Day Vacation In Tanzania
By Eva Nyambura
Notably missing from Barrack Obama’s side at the just concluded launch of Sauti Kuu Foundation today was former first lady, Michelle Obama.
Barrack, Michelle and their daughters, Malia and Sasha, were in Tanzania for 8 days at the Serengeti where they spent their vacation before Barrack jetted into Kenya.

Michelle Obama, together with Malia and Sasha instead flew to Paris to attend Beyonce and Jay Z’s On The Run II (OTR 2) tour after their vacation, while Barrack Obama travelled alone to Kenya.
Michelle was seen next mama Tina Lawson on Sunday evening in Paris, enjoying the concert. Sasha, Malia and her boyfriend were also seen hanging somewhere next to them.

Some Kenyans were not happy with Michelle’s snub and some have questioned why she is keeping her distance from Kenya since she did not accompany him in 2015 as well.
Here is some of the reactions:

This has been covered by a treaty between Russia and the U.S., effective since 2001.

If they are questioned, we might find out that the entire Russia conspiracy is a farce.

What does some random former governor of North Dakota or Guam think of the president’s trip to see Putin? Why dredge up this loser all the time? Because his father and brother were president back when? So what? They weren’t really good presidents and achievement didn’t seem to rub off on Ruprecht here.

I’ve begun to wonder if Yeb mightn’t be the product of some inbreeding somewhere along the line.
Or the nanny dropped him on his head once too often ?
